Cutbacks in state funding in 2013 depleted a portion of Penn’s research funds — but while the chunk of lost fund-ing is relatively small, it rep-resents wider struggles in the hunt for research funding.

In 1998, a 46-state lawsuit against the tobacco companies created a pool of funding for health-related research to be distributed by states. Pennsyl-vania’s allocation of funds was set to drop by $180 million in fall 2013, per an arbitration ruling, because of claims that the state did not adequately tax tobacco companies.

When the research fund consisting of tobacco-compa-ny money was frozen in 2013, Penn lost out on one source of its research funding.

From the perspective of overall research funding though, Penn receives 82 per-cent of its $870 million in funding from the federal gov-ernment. Of the total funds, only about one or two percent comes from state funding.

The Commonwealth Uni-versal Research Enhancement Program funds grants for re-search in health fi elds. Estab-lished in 2001 with funds from the Tobacco Settlement Fund, the culmination of the 46-state lawsuit, CURE is run through the Pennsylvania Department of Health.

In response to the arbitra-tion ruling, Pennsylvania froze all CURE funding in the state, a sum of what would have been over $40 million. Conse-quentially, Penn and the other institutions receiving CURE funding were not allocated funds during the 2013-14 fi s-cal year.

Assistant professor in the Wistar Institute’s NCI-desig-nated Cancer Center’s Molec-

ular and Cellular Oncogenesis program Jessie Villanueva has utilized CURE funds to fur-ther her research in melanoma. Because Villanueva’s CURE funding has already been ex-pended, she has not been af-fected directly by the depletion of funds, although she said other researchers’ work may

be compromised.“I think overall we are all

concerned about the funding climate right now,” Villanueva said. “It’s very diffi cult to get funding from the federal gov-ernment in general, so having resources from the state was a big deal for us.”

She noted she and her peers

must submit ten grant appli-cations in order to receive a single grant.

In the 2008 to 2009 fi s-cal year, Penn received $8,975,120 of formula grants through the CURE program. The University received its

Number of applications for charter schools proposed for this ZIP code

The School District of Phila-delphia is taking the next step in expanding the number of charter schools in the city. On Tuesday, the district announced that public hearings will be held on Dec. 11 at its headquarters for charter school applicants in West Philadelphia.

Thirteen applicants are in-cluded on the list of proposals to be heard for West Philadelphia. Two applications are for schools proposed in Penn’s ZIP code. The hearings for the other proposed charter schools, a total of 40 ap-plications, will begin on Dec. 8.

Applicants will make 15-min-ute presentations, and the public will have the chance to comment on any of the applications evalu-ated. A second set of hearings will take place in January, where the Charter School Offi ce will present comments from application evalu-ators and the applicants will be questioned further, according to a district press release.

The applications are set to be reviewed by a panel of outside evaluators including some from area universities. As of Novem-ber, the district had not released the names or affi liations of the panelists.

This is the fi rst year since 2008 that the district has accepted char-ter school applications. A stipu-lation in the $2-a-pack cigarette tax that passed in September now requires them to be accepted an-nually.

Two possible new charter schools

are within Penn’s ZIP code

Whether it’s a multi-national corporation or a recent college graduate, the challenge in creating a brand remains the same — riding the fi ne line between authenticity and adaptabil-ity.

This Tuesday’s Whar-ton Leadership Lecture featured Geoff Walker, the executive vice presi-dent of Fisher-Price, the famous toy manufacturing company. Drawing upon his recent experiences in renovating Fisher-Price’s brand, Walker discussed how a brand name could impact both the global toy industry and a personal ca-

He sug-gested that while checking for corporate culture fi t and taking general typol-ogy tests were important, a critical step in getting feed-back was creating a person-al advisory board. “Your personal board of directors is a group of people … mentors that guide you … bounce ideas off of you.”

The tour will be an opportu-

“I am looking forward to meeting as many alumni as I can in the next few months, to introduce myself, listen to our alumni all over the world and allow those conversations to

Fresh Grocer to start

selling beerJODY FREINKEL

Campus News Editor

The Fresh Grocer will start selling beer before January 2015, an employ-ee confi rmed Tuesday.

An orange notice announcing the store’s application to sell alcohol was posted by the entrance at 40th and Walnut streets earlier this week. Beer should be in stock within the next few weeks, according to an employee who had spoken with supervisor Samira Syed .

It is unlikely that beer will be sold 24 hours a day, during all of the store’s operating hours, due to state restric-tions.

Pennsylvania is one of 18 states that monopolize alcoholic beverage wholesale and retail. The Pennsyl-vania Supreme Court ruled in 2010 that grocery stores with established restaurant operations inside them can sell beer — up to two six-packs for take-out at a time. The Fresh Grocer’s new license is likely affi liated with its internal cafe.

General Manager Ed Wescott was not immediately available for com-ment on Tuesday evening.

Selling beer is not the only recent change to come to the Fresh Grocer. The store joined the Wakefern Food Cooperative, whose members own and operate ShopRite stores , last fall.

Despite the obstacles that some women face when trying to be-come leaders in the workplace, others are taking the initiative to train women to help women rise to the top of the workplace.

On Tuesday, the Women in Leadership Series hosted Direc-tor Emeritus at McKinsey & Company Joanna Barsh. At Penn, Barsh was an English major and fi ne arts minor . After college, she was a production assistant folding scarves at Bloomingdale’s and then at Macy’s, which is where she realized she wanted to go into Business School.

Throughout Barsh’s decades in business, she gained an aware-ness of the obstacles for women in leadership, starting with a lack of trust and acceptance. “When identifying incongruence in oth-ers, we must have it too,” she said. “Many women can fall short on

this. Girls talk incessantly and judge each other. But really we are talking about ourselves.”

Instead, Barsh called on women to embrace criticism. “If you fi nd that your critic is loud and hold-ing you back, don’t stop listening to the critic,” she said. “The key is to hear other voices too, and put them all on loudspeaker.”

Interested in what enables some women to become leaders in their businesses over others, Barsh launched the “Centered Leader-ship” program in 2008 at McK-insey, an international consulting fi rm. The program was designed to help women better cultivate the skills and mindsets needed to be-come strong leaders.

Now, Barsh is retired and is traveling around the world giving talks about her work — mostly to older women — to see what is holding them back.

“I love hearing women say, ‘I am a good mother, I am a CEO and I feel good about it,’” she said. “Most of these women are strong and bold and entrepre-neurial. They just need that fi ve-degree shift in order to change the world.”

personal brand genuine. “Get-ting that honest feedback will make or break whether you succeed in the long term,” he said.

Penn students in attendance were interested to hear that Walker encouraged people to fi nd themselves in their per-sonal brands. “I found his pas-sion for his brand incredibly interesting and inspiring,” said Wharton freshman Julia Liu.

Wharton freshman Dawit Gebresellassie agreed, stating, “He really walked the walk

regarding his personal brand.”As Walker described how

to apply and adapt personal brands, he also weaved in de-scriptions of his experiences at Fisher-Price. As he explained how one needed to constantly adapt or “go obsolete,” he used the example of Fisher-Price’s transition from market-ing to “Generation X” parents to “Millennial” parents. But even during this transition, the challenge lies in “being au-thentic to your brand.”

“It’s a fi ne balance — I want to lead a company to be great, I don’t want to tell them to be great,” he said.

RESEARCH ROUNDUP"And you love the game"

Evolution favors the selfish, a study from the College found. Researchers Joshua Plotkin and Alexander Stewart conducted an in-depth analysis of the classic game theory concept of "the Prisoner's Dilemma," where individuals decide whether to work together to get out of trouble or gain the greatest payoff by pursuing their own self interests. The study found that in an evolving population, adding flexibility to the game — to make it more realistic — causes players to pursue self-serving strategies. This research overturns Plotkin and Stewart's previous work, which argued that only generous strategies could persist in a long-term game.

He's Just Accurately Into You

Psychology Professor Robert Kurzban teamed up with a researcher from Texas State University to overrule the idea that men overestimate women's interest in sex. The team conducted three studies where they asked men and women what certain behaviors imply when on a date. Their findings concluded that male responses largely matched up to what women thought they were indicating.

You've got to be kidneying me

Perelman School of Medicine researchers have found a promising new strategy for combating Chronic Kidney Disease. The study discovered that restoring the energy supply of certain kidney cells can help prevent CKD. These findings are especially pertinent since current treatments can only moderately slow down the disease's progression to kidney failure.

Icing your wounds

Findings from a new study can help predict the severity of post-concussion symptoms in professional athletes. In their research, a team from the Perelman School of Medi-cine drew blood from concussed ice hockey players and evaluated them for their subsequent symptoms daily. The players who experienced more severe concussion symp-toms were more likely to have elevated levels of a brain enriched protein known as SNTF.

130th Yearof Publication

“Eat a cheese-burger,” you say. If only you knew

the fear and guilt I might feel if I obliged; a fear of gaining weight, of losing the thin-but-toned figure I’ve worked over a year to attain. It can be a constant, nagging stream of thoughts — I shouldn’t have eaten that, I’ll probably be bloated tomorrow, how many calories was in that? After the mental battle, I accept what I’ve just eaten and move on, reminding myself that one un-healthy meal won’t change the way I look.

I have never been diag-nosed with an eating disorder, but as you can see, my rela-tionship with food is anything but normal, and probably best characterized as “intense.” I love to cook and bake, spend-

ing my weekends and evenings challenging myself with ever more sophisticated recipes and adventurous ingredients. I love food, I just hate the effect it could have on my body — de-positing fat where I don’t want it. Spend a day with me, and you might just see me as a girl who likes to eat healthy but has got a killer sweet tooth. Spend a week with me and you’ll start to pick up on my border-ing-on-obsessive aversion to fatty, starchy foods. Red meat, cheese, potatoes, bread? Only on special occasions, please.

I never used to think my four-times-a-week gym schedule and refusal to eat fatty meals more than a couple times a week was unusual or unhealthy. Freshman year at Penn, I gained 15 pounds, and my new habits were just part of a healthy lifestyle helping

me shed that weight. A year later and 35 pounds lighter, I struggled to shift from weight-loss to weight-maintenance. When I looked in the mirror, I still saw a version of my old self and still picked apart my “problem” areas, like my stom-ach. It took seeing a photo of me for the first time in months to realize just how drastically my body had changed — my arms now thin and lanky, my collarbone clearly visible from the neckline of a loose-fitting XS T-shirt. Shopping for new jeans was a pleasant surprise — I fit into a size 2?! — and a wake up call. Finally, I’d lost the weight. Finally, I’d achieved a new-and-improved version of me.

I recognize that I have an unhealthy body image, but it’s a difficult one to shake. I don’t weigh myself, but I do

keep close track of my figure. I look in the mirror, inspecting my stomach to see if it looks like it’s protruding more than usual. I fixate on these per-ceived flaws, not every day, but enough to recognize that

it takes a toll on me. Happily, there are many days when I look at myself and see some-one beautiful, with a body that needs no changes. On those

days when I feel incredibly guilty after eating a cheese-burger, though, I just wish I had someone with similar experiences to talk to. Some-one who could empathize, not sympathize.

Perhaps selfishly, my hope for this piece was to create that dialogue I so crave on my darker days. I haven’t been able to find any student group

to discuss these issues with at Penn, despite the prevalence of eating disorders on a cam-pus filled with countless per-fectionists like myself. I know that this is a personal issue that is incredibly difficult to divulge to others, but I hope it will incite more dialogue on this self-destructive dis-ease that seems so stigmatized among people our age. Penn’s competitive environment dis-courages us from divulging our flaws, but acknowledging a quietly prevalent issue such as this is key to addressing the larger, oft-discussed mental health problems at our univer-sity.

Kanye West recent-ly commented that “the point of life is getting s--- done

and being happy.” This boiled-down philosophy is not a bad approximation of what ap-pears to motivate the average Penn student. Some of us work harder than others; some of us play harder. But the overall point of life is to balance our craving for serotonin with the desire to get one thing done or another.

At 62, Ernest Hemingway was a best-selling author with a Nobel prize and a Pulitzer prize, which means he’d got a lot of s--- done. If wine and women have anything to do with the happiness hormone, he would have also had plen-ty of that. But around 1960, something had started to go wrong: He’d lost his ability to write, which meant that he wasn’t getting much done any-more. Happiness wasn’t hap-pening enough either, so he put on his favorite dressing

gown and shot himself in the head.

Psychologists have also linked Hemingway’s suicide to other causes — including, in a vaguely Freudian style, an intense desire to kill his father which was transferred to his mother and finally to himself — but these ignore the fact that Hemingway got along in his own way for more than 50 years before the suicide at-tempts started.

In any case, the problem with West’s simple formula remains: The work-hard, play-hard philosophy provides tem-porary distraction, not real meaning. And when some-thing goes wrong — when you’re out of work or suddenly stop feeling the fun — it can all come crashing down.

Then most of us, it would seem, pick up the pieces, grit our teeth and keep going. Life may feel meaningless, but it’s better than death. And so we live it the best we can. If fail-ure persists, of course, a few

— like Hemingway — may commit suicide. But the ma-jority stick to West’s formula — getting done what they can and trying their best to be happy.

Still others — when faced with too much pain to cope — turn, according to their own testimony, to an irratio-nal belief in a higher meaning, often based upon the religion they happen to have been raised in. For example, a few weeks back I attended a Fox Leadership Lunch featuring a New York Times best-selling author. He claimed that the heart-wrenching experience which inspired his book had also created in him a deep, ir-rational belief in God. He told the room full of bright-eyed students that we just needed to have faith — never mind if it’s in God, goodness or a be-nevolent Big-Foot — so long as we could get ourselves to really believe in something transcendent; something big-ger than getting stuff done and

being happy.It’s hard to argue with

someone who openly admits that he builds the meaning of his life on irrationality, so I didn’t raise my hand at the time. But I could see a little smile go around the room, and I guessed what many of us were thinking. We grew out of Neverland a few years back,

and in the regular universe — even if the whole room full of us got to yelling and clapping and shouting, “I do believe in fairies” — very few of us would believe that Tinker Bell was coming back to life. Fa-natical allegiance to religious

tenets may help us feel better about the world for a time, but if at bottom you know that your faith isn’t backed by fact or even logical coherence, it ends up serving as nothing more than a distraction. And — as many who left the reli-gion they were raised in might testify — the distraction often fails when faced with a little

bit of rigorous education.To be sure, there will al-

ways be people who can get through life quite satisfied with a baseless belief. There will also be people who die happy at 90, looking back on all kinds of s---- they got done.

But these are not people with answers; they are just a lucky bunch good at ignoring tough questions. As time consum-ing as it may be to seriously study the rational arguments surrounding worldview and religion, at least it provides a chance at finding some real answers — answers more compelling than “getting s--- done and being happy.”

KEEN ON THE TRUTH | The work-hard, play-hard mentality and blind religious faith are both just ways to distract oneself from tough questions

For College senior Stamati Liapis, being an RA did not end when his residents left his hall. Liapis has stayed in contact with his former residents and continues to maintain a close mentoring re-lationship. This year, his residents from last year’s Huntsman Hall in Kings Court, where Liapis is an RA, made him a video for his birthday.

“It was really touching,” he said.The relationship between Liapis

and his residents goes both ways. Earlier this year, a former resident approached him to talk about is-sues with his current roommate. The two went on a walk to talk out the problem, which helped the stu-dent resolve the issue, Liapis said.

With RA applications now available online as of Tuesday, more students like Liapis can help lead and create a community in their College Houses. Current sophomores and upperclassmen with at least a 2.5 GPA are eligible

to apply. The application deadline is immediately after winter break, on Jan. 15, and students can inter-view as early as today.

Applicants can choose to ap-ply to one or more of the College Houses, which each have their own individual process.

In Ware College House, after applicants apply online, they are interviewed by a panel made up of the House Dean, 2-3 RAs and a GA. This interview is followed by a mixer between potential and cur-rent RAs.

All applicants are notifi ed of their acceptance for the following year by Jan. 30.

While the position of an RA comes with several perks, such as free housing and a free meal plan, the opportunity to be a mentor is the main attraction for some ap-plicants.

“I was interested in being an RA because it is the most formalized mentor role you’ll have in your life,” Engineering senior Amit Pu-jari said. “Getting to know fresh-man and helping them grow is re-ally cool.”

Despite thoroughly enjoying his role as a mentor, Pujari admits that sometimes it is hard to strike the right balance in his relationship

with students on his hall.“Balancing being the enforcer

and a friend is the hardest part,” Pujari said.

“You’re not the cop, or the mom, or the dad,” Phil Davis, an RA and College senior in Ware added. “The goal is to try and bestow on them some sense of personal re-sponsibility.”

RAs face other challenges as well when working with students in their hall, particularly those who suff er from mental health issues. Davis said that for him, this was the hardest part about being an RA.

All RAs are required to go through rigorous mental health awareness training, which includes meeting with CAPS and outside consultants and participating in several simulations.

“I felt really prepared going into it, but nothing can really prepare you for it when you’re faced with a real person,” Davis said.

In addition to helping residents adjust to the stress of university life, RAs must also keep up with the other responsibilities in their lives.

“Sometimes you can get so con-sumed in the RA job, you can start losing track of your own stuff ,” Liapis said.

Earlier this year, balancing re-sponsibilities became more of a challenge for fourteen RAs who had their work-study either re-duced or eliminated. These RAs were not notifi ed of this change until October.

“You get a free meal plan being an RA, but the meal plan doesn’t cover an entire semester’s worth of meals, so if you don’t have a kitch-en in your dorm room, which most RAs don’t, I feel like it would be really hard,” Liapis, who was not one of the RAs who had his work-study cut, said.

Despite the pressures of being an RA, Liapis said it is still worth it.

“The experience is incredibly meaningful, you don’t even real-ize how cool it is until you’re there planning activities, and helping build a community,” Liapis said. “I would highly recommend it.”

About 70 students laid in silence on the fl oor of Penn Law on Tues-day afternoon.

The students demonstrated in solidarity with protestors around the country after the St. Louis-county grand jury chose not to in-dict police offi cer Darren Wilson for the shooting of Michael Brown. The protestors were on the fl oor of the Great Hall of Penn Law School for four and a half minutes to repre-sent the four and a half hours Brown laid dead on the street.

“It felt long, and it’s a small frac-tion of the amount of time that Mike Brown’s body laid out there,” David Washington, a third-year Penn Law student and protest organizer, said in an interview after the event. “I think that in all the time that we all spent organizing and making sure it went off a hitch, we didn’t prepare for or think about the impact of the

silence and how it would make us feel,” he added.

He said that the demonstration is a response to police brutality on the whole, not just the Ferguson court decision.

“I think that one of the most ob-vious and ridiculous things about the situation is that there is no tally, no count of how many people are being killed by police offi cers, he said. “You can only guess.”

The demonstration followed a protest organized by Students Orga-nizing for Unity and Liberation on Monday. Over 100 students walked from DuBois College House to 33rd and Market streets. Similar to the Tuesday demonstration, those protestors laid in the intersection at 34th and Walnut streets for four and a half minutes.

“This is a small thing, a small event and it is a drop in the buck-et,” Washington said. “We need to make sure to fi ll the bucket until it overfl ows.”

DO YOU PAY PER VIEW?Film polled you to fi nd out how you are getting your Sunday afternoon movie fi xes. Here’s what we learned. BY ANTHONY KHAYKIN

Though we all know the Internet is for porn (thanks Avenue Q), the

bedroom is no longer the only area being ceded to digital terri-tory. For every girl with daddy’s AmEx, window browsing on Fifth Avenue has been replaced with online shopping. And FYEs everywhere have virtu-ally been rendered useless (pun intended) with the existence of the multifarious iTunes store.

Things are no different here at Penn, where the Rave gets nearly half the traffi c for the midnight screenings of block-buster hits like Twilight as Hulu does the day after the newest episode of 30 Rock airs. This makes sense. We Penn students are too busy procrastinating on Penn InTouch and design-ing funny lacrosse pinnies for the clubs we’re involved in to leave the comfort of our beds to

watch Hugo in theaters. And we fi t this mold of overworked Ivy League students well, with only about 17% of Penn undergrads watching movies at the Rave ev-ery semester.

But how about the other ste-reotype, the one that says all col-lege students are poor? The free movement of information made possible by the interweb makes

entertainment accessible and inexpensive to anyone with an AirPennNet account. Wouldn’t

you guess then that Penn stu-dents would prefer to get their RomCom fi x online with free streaming websites like SideReel and Ch131 rather than pay for services provided by Netfl ix and Redbox?

While 75% of us watch mov-ies online, nearly 50% pay for it. I hear Horrible Bosses — a new release on iTunes — is hys-

terical, but is it worth the 1.5 salads at Sweetgreen it would have cost if I had seen it in theaters? Ramen noo-dles aren’t that bad, I guess.

The average Penn student (who is anything but average, if you ask Amy Gutmann) watch-

es seven movies, more or less, every semester. Simple arithme-tic proves that it’s $40 cheaper to watch said movies on Netfl ix than at the Rave, and an addi-tional $20 less on iTunes (cost of popcorn and Mike and Ikes not included in these calcula-tions). The low cost of watch-ing seven movies on iTunes for less than 30 bucks is worth the many conveniences that online paid services afford us: not be-ing interrupted by incessant buffering and commercials, the immunity to computer viruses and most importantly, not hav-ing to wait 54 minutes after watching 72 minutes of a movie on Megavideo.

Not to mention, it’s a small price to pay when you look at the big picture — the combined savings of the 47.7% of Penn students who pay for their online services rather than going to the movie theater is somewhere be-tween $196,136 and $295,344, depending on whether they use Netfl ix or iTunes, respectively. Moral of the story is: we won't judge if you just stay in bed.

peak CURE allocation dur-ing the 2009 to 2010 fi scal year, when it was allocated $9,897,440 in formula grants, although the quantity was still a mere one percent of its cur-rent total research funds.

Yet, although the lost funds quantify a small chunk of Penn’s total funding, the de-crease illustrates greater chal-lenges arising from uncertain-ty in research funding.

Director of Research Initia-tives in the Offi ce of the Vice Provost for Research Marc Rigas said that his offi ce of-ten receives calls from faculty members who fear struggles to fi nd funding — both from the CURE program and oth-erwise — may implicate the future of their research.

“Any time you have fund-ing uncertainty, it’s detrimen-tal to the university,” Rigas said, stressing the fact that individual researchers fi eld the hardest hit. “If you’re the

person who’s lab is receiving those funds, it’s a big portion of your budget.”

But, in April, a Court of Common Pleas judge ruled to restore an estimated $120 mil-lion of Pennsylvania’s $335 million tobacco settlement funds for 2014.

Penn will receive about $5 million in funding from the CURE program this fi scal year, Rigas said. Most of the funds will go to the Abramson Cancer Center.

The reduction of CURE funding comes amidst a diffi -cult time for researchers seek-ing funding, with the federal government cutting back on research funding in general.

“Penn’s in a good position because we are a well-re-spected university with top re-searchers,” Rigas said. “Com-pared to other institutions, we’ll be okay, but because the pie is getting smaller, top universities are going to be competing more and more for these funds.”

In 2004, the National In-stitutes of Health, one of the largest funders of science re-search, received 40,861 grant applications with an overall success rate of 24.6 percent.

Nine years later, in 2013, the NIH received 49,581 grant applications, and the funding rate dropped to 16.8 percent — meaning researchers are roughly 32 percent less likely to obtain funding.

“Faculty members are spending more time writing applications for grants than doing actual research,” Rigas said.

The Wistar Institute, Penn’s cancer-focused research neighbor, has also received less funding than expected due to CURE program cuts.

According to Wistar’s web-site, the institute expected to receive approximately $1,403,000 in CURE funding in 2014. Wistar will now take on a “substantial defi cit” this fi scal year in order to continue funded research projects.

The Rave Cinema located at 40th and Walnut streets is cur-rently being remodeled.

The theater, which the Rave took over in 2010, has been under construction since before Thanks-giving break.

The Rave is working to renovate the concession and ticket booth stands, after which the cinema plans to do more renovation work.

The theater itself is still open, but patrons must use the side door entrance, a Cinemark representa-tive said.

Cinemark, the company that owns the Rave, did not comment on when construction will be com-pleted.

CREATIVITY & AGINGProfessor Martin SeligmanFounder of Positive Psychology

Given the deteriorations of aging, can creativity possibly thrive in the later decades of life, and if so, how? Some creative individuals report that their creativity — defi ned as the generation of ideas or products that are both original and useful — increases as they age. In contrast, evidence suggests that creative achievement either decreases or remains stable after peaking in the 30s or 40s (with variations across disciplines).

We review three sets of factors that infl uence creativity (cognition and expertise, personality and motivation, and interpersonal processes) and how they fare with aging. We conclude that the potential benefi ts of aging for some factors have important implications for building more creativity at all ages.

A tall, stylish woman com-manded the petite stage of the upper level of the World Café, a white pane projected to her right.

Penn professor Gwendolyn Du-Bois Shaw dove right into her pre-sentation on American art as part of the Lighbulb Café public lec-ture series. The series welcomes

Penn faculty from the School of Arts and Sciences to give free pre-sentations on diverse topics. Shaw, an associate professor of art his-tory at Penn, tackled the question of defining American art.

Shaw highlighted American art’s long under-recognized status and proposed a number of factors that shape perceptions of it, in-cluding geography and the origins of its artists. “Does what we have

here in this country, this melt-ing pot, with all of these different cultures coming together ... is that what makes American art?” she asked. “Art that reflects a cultural affinity that’s all connected with the American experience?” She described new modes of curation that depart from typical race- and gender-based categorizations.

The visual aids in her presenta-tion ranged from an iconic Paul

Revere print of the Boston Massa-cre to images of an innovative ex-hibit curated by artist Fred Wilson at the Maryland Historical Society. The exhibit incorporated previ-ously “neglected” artifacts from the museum’s holdings — a set of metal cuffs echoing a legacy of slavery were placed alongside dec-orative silverware — to propose a new way of perceiving the past.

Jacquie Posey is the coordinator

of Lightbulb Café’s programming. “I knew that Dr. Shaw was curat-ing [an] exhibition [on African American art] at the Philadelphia Museum of Art,” Posey said. She later reached out to Shaw to invite

her to speak.Despite her role in realizing it,

Shaw turned a critical eye to the upcoming exhibit, called “Repre-sent: 200 Years of African Ameri-can Art.”

ers trailed the Leopards (4-2) by small deficits, with the gap reaching as high as seven points. Originally in a zone defense, the Quakers struggled to contain Homan, who finished with 29 points, as Stipanovich and se-nior forward Kara Bonenberger both found themselves in foul trouble.

McLaughlin acknowledged the team’s difficulty with guard-ing Homan.

“It was definitely a factor that we had to protect [Stipanovich and Bonenberger] in the first half,” McLaughlin said. “We tried to double her at times and do some other things. I give her a lot of credit, because she made a lot of difficult shots.”

Nearing the end of the half, McLaughlin converted to a man-to-man defense and the Quakers

began to claw back in the last five minutes before halftime. Senior guard Renee Busch hit two of her three three-pointers in a four-minute span, and Brzo-zowski hit two foul shots with 57 seconds remaining in the half to make the score 34-33 in favor of Lafayette.

In the second half, McLaugh-lin continued to switch between man and zone defenses, but not to the same success he had.

“We got a little bit spread out [on defense], [and] they were hitting the high post on us. I thought we did a good job when we went to man, [and] we broke their flow in the first half, just not the second half.”

Penn and Lafayette often trad-ed leads in the second half, with no team holding a lead larger than Penn’s five-point advantage with 10 minutes left. The Quak-ers claimed the lead with 2:19 remaining in the game on a layup

by Roche, who scored Penn’s fi-nal seven points in the contest.

Ultimately, it would not be enough. Lafayette’s advantage in the paint made the final differ-

ence as the Leopards outscored Penn, 36-24, in the key.

The Quakers will look to re-bound against Hampton on Fri-day at the Palestra.

great job of getting people out of their offense a lot this year,” junior center Darien Nelson-Henry said. “I think it’s gonna be a good game for us to pressure [the Midshipmen]

defensively and try to get them out of their sets and make them take rushed shots.”

Rushed shots, of course, lead to transition opportunities, an area that has been a sore spot this year for the Quakers in their own defensive end.

Against Wagner on Saturday, Penn committed a ghastly 22 turn-overs and allowed the Seahawks nu-merous odd-man breaks.

Those mistakes led to a 64-61 defeat and a wasted 11-point, eight-rebound performance from Nelson-Henry.

The Quakers know they can’t af-ford to continue to shooting them-selves in the foot.

“We’ve got guys going in spurts,” Allen said. “It was good to see Darien have some effectiveness in-side … but with that being said, we got 55 possessions for the game. We shoot over 57 percent. But yet we turn the ball over 22 times. It’s coun-terproductive.

“We were able to be effective and score the ball when we took good shots and took care of the ball, but with that being said, if you only get 33 shots at the basket, you’re prob-ably not going to win too many ball-games.”

Facing a slower, half-court ori-ented team, the Quakers could eas-ily wind up in another tight situation late in the second half.

So far, those scenarios have not been kind to the Red and Blue. Penn lost its opener to Delaware State by a two-point margin, and was within three points of Temple with 1:15 to go last Tuesday before falling by nine.

With three freshmen currently entrenched in Allen’s regular rota-tion — a fourth, forward Mike Au-ger, is currently sidelined with a foot injury — the Red and Blue are still figuring out how to close out a game in the final minutes.

Part of that winning formula will develop naturally with experi-ence, but some will come from the team’s game-by-game attitude after a stretch of tough early failures.

“You’ve got to make sure [the freshmen] stay confident,” said Nelson-Henry, a veteran of numer-ous close losses early into his third campaign. “You can’t be too hard on them after a loss like that, because then the next time they’re in that situation, they’re not gonna have the confidence to execute the way that they need to.”

After five hard lessons to open the season, the Quakers won’t need to wait long to get an opportunity to finish what they’ve started.

Sometimes, talent runs in the family. Sometimes, it swims.

For the two sets of siblings on Penn swimming and diving’s ros-ter, the term “teammates” takes on a new meaning. The Alexander sisters and Hurwitz twin brothers add strong bonds to the team, both in and out of the pool.

“Immediately, it gives you someone you know on the team, so you have somebody who’s your biggest ally,” sophomore breast-stroker Cole Hurwitz said.

Cole and brother Jordan Hur-witz have known this bond would exist from the start. When re-cruited, the identical twins made

it clear to colleges that the pair from Portland, Ore., were a pack-age deal. The brothers ultimately decided on Penn, which they be-lieved would provide them a solid academic atmosphere while ac-cepting two freshmen of the same event with relatively similar times.

“When we talked to schools, we told them that we wanted to come together, so we were a pack-age deal,” Jordan said.

For freshman Ryan Alexander, the idea of joining her sister, ju-nior Megan Alexander, was less enticing, as she approached swim-ming with her sister with mixed emotions. Recently, Ryan found the pro and con list she made of colleges before selecting for which school she would swim, and, as she explained, “one of the cons said ‘half-Megan.’”

“I had to decide whether I wanted to be with her or not,” said Ryan, who then continued, “Now

swimming here … I can’t imagine not swimming with her. I’m very happy with the decision I made.”

Indeed, while being siblings

strengthens the teammate bond, it also strengthens another relation-ship: competitor. All four of them swim many of the same events as

his or her sibling, which ratchets up the excitement of each race, es-pecially when the siblings are in the same heat.

“It’s great for competition pur-poses,” said Jordan, who faces off against Cole in breaststroke events. “I’m definitely most competitive when I’m facing my brother.”

For the Alexanders, the age gap exacerbated the sibling rivalry in the past. The two described the intensity as heating up four years ago, when Megan was a high school junior in Marblehead, Mass., and Ryan was a freshman.

“I used to cry when she beat me,” Megan said. “Now it’s more, we’re on the same team, and I want her to be scoring points for us as much as I want to be scoring for the team.”

The shift to a more team-ori-ented outlook has not only helped the siblings grow as teammates,

but as family. Even though Megan is two years older and in a differ-ent school than Ryan, the two get together frequently for lunch din-ner, and Megan said the two “have become a lot closer.”

Similarly, the Hurwitz twins have strengthened their relation-ship through Penn swimming and plan to be roommates the rest of their college careers. Racing with each other has made them closer — though their teammates may argue that they were already close enough, especially physically.

“At first, they definitely couldn’t tell us apart,” Cole said. “Now … it’s very rare for them to make a mistake.”

As the team enters the Total Performance Invitational tomor-row and the Ivy Championship in February, the Alexanders and Hurwitzes bring the Red and Blue extra doses of competition and, just as importantly, community.

10 SPORTS WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2014 | THEDP.COMTHE DAILY PENNSYLVANIAN

Ivy League basketball has seen some surprises early in the 2014-15 season. Harvard lost to Holy Cross on a neutral court. Columbia lost its top scorer from a year ago before the season be-gan and hasn’t missed a beat. Cornell has already won more games than last season.

Senior Sports Editor Steven Tydings and Sports Editor Hold-en McGinnis talk about what has been the biggest surprise in the Ancient Eight this year.

Steven Tydings: I’d say Har-vard’s early defeat, but the Crim-son bounced back. What has thrown me off guard has been Princeton’s early season strug-gles. The Tigers lost a lot with the graduation of T.J. Bray but with freshman Amir Bell com-ing in to run the point and other players like Spencer Weisz set to step up, most people expected Princeton to hold it together.

But so far, the Tigers surely haven’t. After taking down Rider to start the year, they lost fi ve straight games before a win on Sunday. Those losses included some stronger opponents like UTEP but there is one loss that is truly inexplicable: Incarnate Word.

Seriously, Incarnate Word? A program that has been in Divi-sion I for just two years won at Jadwin Gym. This was a shocker to say the least. Princeton may bounce back but the Tigers early season struggles are pretty sur-prising, at least to the extent they’ve been hurting so far.

Holden McGinnis: Sure, Princeton’s loss to Incarnate

Word was surprising, but the Tigers weren’t particularly a title contender to begin the year — placing 4th in the preseason poll. The Tigers were a bit of a wild card, particularly after the graduation of Bray and a strong crop of seniors, and they could very well turn things around.

For me, I think the biggest surprise has to come from Co-

lumbia. When we heard that Alex Rosenberg was going to miss the season and withdraw from school due to injury, it seemed clear that Columbia was no longer going to be the same threat to knock off Harvard and Yale as it was last year. It’s tough to replace an elite scorer like Rosenberg, especially given the talent the Lions graduated, but

Columbia has barely missed a step.

Sure, Tuesday’s loss to lowly Loyola (Md.) was ugly, but this is a team that most analysts wrote off a few weeks ago, yet its started the season 4-2. They may not have the chops to hang with Harvard and Yale atop the conference, but the Lions aren’t a team to sneeze at this season.

When you lose a fi rst-team All-Ivy talent and can still pull off some nonconference wins in the aftermath, it says a lot about the coaches and the program.

ST: The Lions simply haven’t played a very tough schedule so far. I have a tough time seeing Columbia excelling in Ivy play without Rosenberg to draw fouls on every opponent and take the fi nal shot. There is an awful lot riding on the shoulders of junior

Maodo Lo and I’m not sure he’s up for the task.

HM: They may be unable to handle the very top of the con-ference, I grant you that, but Co-lumbia is still ahead of around half the Ivy League. For some-thing that’s supposed to be a lost season, that’s more than enough. Princeton never had the pre-season hype to begin with, a few bad nonconference losses is just par for the course.

THE BUZZ: MANO-A-MANO

Biggest surprise in Ivy League men’s hoopsBY DP SPORTS

EDITORS

From The Daily Pennsylvanian’s sports blog, THE BUZZ

AMANDA SUAREZ/DP FILE PHOTOPrinceton has struggled this year after the graduation of guard T.J. Bray — a first-team All-Ivy selection in 2014. The Tigers won their first game, but proceeded to drop five in a row, including a loss to Incarnate Word, a recent addition to Division I.

(No. 2), Murphy (No. 3), Lar-son (No. 4 and 5) and Watson (No. 5 and 6) all went 3-0. The

“freshman five” will look to continue their early success on their way to helping their team earn a crucial win against Navy on Wednesday.

In terms of past performance

between the two teams set to face off, Penn leads the overall series with the Midshipmen, 44-26, and has won the last 14 straight meetings, including a 6-3 victory at Navy a year ago.

11SPORTSWEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2014THEDP.COM | THE DAILY PENNSYLVANIAN

As Penn men’s squash pre-pares for its first home match of the season, it will look to build upon its hot start.

The No. 9 Quakers will take on No. 16 Navy on Wednesday evening at 5 p.m. at the Ringe Squash Courts and hope to improve to 4-0 to begin the year.

Penn looked dominant in its first weekend of play

when it traveled to Maine for a three-game road trip. The men defeated a solid Bates team 7-2 before beating both Colby and Bowdoin in domi-nant 9-0 fashion.

However, the Red and Blue face a strong challenge on Wednesday as Navy has also gotten off to a hot start this season and proven they can play with top-ten teams.

The Midshipmen also stand undefeated, currently boasting a 12-0 record, with their most noteworthy win coming against Penn’s Ivy League rival, Princeton.

Navy won each of its first 11 matches while holding the opponent scoreless, topping each 9-0. Last Tuesday was the Midshipmen’s first real test as they faced the No. 10 Tigers and battled to come away with the 5-4 victory,

their first win over a top-ten team since February 2012.

Navy will likely take this confidence and momentum into their match at Ringe Courts. They are led by se-nior Andrew McGuinness in the No. 1 position and senior Jim Kacergis in the No. 3 po-sition.

A key to Penn’s success thus far and certainly one for Wednesday’s matchup is the play from the freshmen in the Quakers’ ladder. In the season opening weekend in Maine, the Red and Blue fea-tured five freshmen in the top six spots in the ladder; Mar-wan Mahmoud, Derek Hsue, Hayes Murphy, Anders Lar-son and James Watson.

Mahmoud went 2-1 in the No. 1 position, while Hsue

After Penn basketball’s blown second-half lead and loss to Wag-ner on Saturday, people around the program were likely thinking at a mile a minute.

Wednesday, the Quakers will tone things down a few notch-es — though it may not be by choice.

The Red and Blue (0-5) are slated to travel to Annapolis, Md., to take on Navy, one of the slowest-paced teams in the entire country.

Winners of two of their last three, the Midshipmen (2-5) have a tendency to produce low-

scoring contests through their willingness to shorten the game and total number of trips down the fl oor for both sides.

“[Navy does] such a good job of executing, and they make you pay for every mistake,” coach Je-rome Allen said. “You’ve got to mix your patience and your focus together in terms of trying to play out a full 35-second shot clock possession.”

By and large, though, the Midshipmen have been unable to capitalize on their limited possessions. By Ken Pomeroy’s metrics, Navy ranks 323rd out of 351 Division I teams in total adjusted off ense, averaging only 91.7 points per 100 possessions.

For Penn, the key to getting its all-important fi rst win of the season may lie in forcing the disciplined Navy squad out of its comfort zone.

“It’s gonna be a good test for us, because we haven’t done a

NEXT GAME: VS. HAMPTON | FRI, 7 P.M.

LAFAYETTE (4-2) PENN (3-2)

Quakers come up painfully short

It was a nail-biter , but Penn women’s basketball could not pull through on a rare down defensive night.

Penn fell to Lafayette on Tuesday night, 60-57. The Quakers (3-2) were unable to execute on off ense in the sec-

ond half to overcome an over-powering performance by La-fayette forward Emily Homan. The Red and Blue’s fi nal op-portunity — a three-pointer as time expired by freshman Beth Brzozowski — bounced off the rim to end the game.

Lafayette guard Jamie O’Hare hit a go-ahead jump shot with 27 seconds left, put-ting the Leopards up, 58-57, and the Quakers took over with a full clock to retake the lead. Freshman Anna Ross ultimately missed an off -bal-

ance layup, and the Quakers fouled Lafayette forward Ash-ley Lutz, who made both of her foul shots with four sec-onds remaining to secure the fi nal three-point margin.

“We had an opportunity to put us up one late and it just didn’t fall,” coach Mike McLaughlin said. “Anna Ross put up a good shot.”

Sophomore center Sydney Stipanovich led the way for the Quakers with 13 points on 6-for-15 shooting and added seven rebounds to a game-

high three blocks. Senior guard Kathleen Roche con-tributed 10 points, all in the second half.

“We would have liked to have more intensity early on to set the tone,” Roche said. “They did a great job of con-trolling the game initially, but we could have brought a little more energy and forced more turnovers.”

In the shooting frenzy that was the first half, the Quak-
